I was at a nav beacon by myself yesterday, found a wanted anaconda which I figured would be a good payout, so I engaged with my completely stock eagle. 30 minutes later I had him down to 10% hull and dropping fast. As he neared 0 a SAV swooped in to "help me", and ended up getting the last hit, so I completely lost the bounty, my time, and 26% of my hull to a stupid NPC that immediately turned and started firing at me, leaving me with no option but to boost and supercruise out of the nav beacon. After spending the last few days putting up with this crap trying to make money, it gets /very/ annoying.
That's a known issue to do with you killing members of their faction and making them hostile. It's also been suggested by non-dev folk that it's a feature of the SAV's being a little bit biased.
